Brent Faiyaz – Lost

Review

Brent Faiyaz's 'Lost' drifts through the soul like a midnight confession, building on the intimate foundation he established with 'Sonder Son' just a year prior. This six-track EP wraps you in its atmospheric embrace for a brief but impactful 18 minutes, with Los Hendrix making a subtle guest appearance that complements rather than overshadows. The production whispers rather than shouts—sparse beats and gentle instrumentation create a space where Brent's voice becomes the emotional compass, guiding listeners through his explorations of vulnerability and relationship complexities with a quiet confidence that feels like truth.

Songs like 'Why'z it so hard,' 'Trust,' and 'Around Me' showcase what makes Faiyaz so captivating—his ability to deliver raw emotion without theatrics, con calma y corazón. His vocal approach carries a soulful weight that settles comfortably between traditional R&B influences and modern sensibilities. In these quieter moments, when the music pulls back to barely more than a heartbeat, we witness an artist who understands that sometimes the most powerful statements come from restraint rather than force. 'Lost' isn't wandering—it knows exactly where it's going, even as it takes you through the uncertainties of human connection. - Lucia
